Unit 141 I/N teams tournament hosted a record 57 tables at Bala Golf Club on November 17th. Over 225 non-life masters with fewer than 500 masterpoints came to play in a Dupli-Swiss and learn more about imps strategy.The photos below barely convey a sense of the sea of tables that filled the many playing rooms!




Great credit goes to I/N Tournament Chair Bruce Lang, who organized the event and recruited such a large and enthusiastic group of players. The directing staff, volunteers, and Bala staff ensured that the entire day ran smoothly. Lang says, "We were just thrilled with the overwhelming response from the players to register as well as their enthusiasm at the tournament." Unit 141 President Mike Giesler, who volunteered at the event, had high praise for the turnout and the event. "The whole day was a great success with enormous participation. I am so pleased with Bruce's I/N program, its growth over the past 18 months, and how well it serves the newer players in our unit. This tournament is just the latest and largest of a growing program."

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all of the players who participated. We look forward to seeing all of you at future I/N events in 2015.
